My Little Morningbird

Woke up this morning, thought a bird was in our house. Tweeeeeeeet! Tweeeeeeeeeeeet! Tweet! Tweet! Tweeeeeeeet! Tweeeeeet!

Dave was sound asleep beside me and I thought Charity was surely still sleeping, so I arose to investigate the situation. Started to head out of the bedroom, but before I got out the door realized it was coming from our bathroom. Turned around, back to the bathroom.
There was Ms. Charity, wide awake, whistling louder and longer than I'd ever heard her whistle before. Of course, 7 AM Saturday morning!! Lovely!! And it got me up out of bed!! Lovelier!! Had she been practicing all night? Obviously not or she would not have been so "chipper"! Last night she crashed in her bed at 9 PM, sound asleep before I went in to read her a story and shut her light out.

Funny how when you learn something new, you discover it first thing in the morning, sometimes, I guess. Good thing I went to bed shortly after Charity, or I probably wouldn't have been enjoying her new found talent so early this morning!! My little night owl is turning into a morningbird!!
